The Borgen Project’s Stepping for Change Challenge is a global fundraising competition that turns your physical steps into advocacy for ending extreme poverty. 

By tracking your steps, you can raise donations to support our lobbying efforts to protect and grow foreign aid budgets.

The person who raises the most will win a two-night trip to either lobby their Government officials or meet and have dinner with Clint Borgen! Ask your manager for further details.
